What did you do in the garden today?

How many Gardeners save bacon grease?
I do.

I thought everybody did... LOL

They don't make ANYTHING with longevity like they used to. I have a Dyson. I do have pets that shed enough hair to make dust bunnies come alive. We sweep every single day. Our Dyson had an engine issue last month. It's 3 yrs old. Called Dyson. They had me ship it to them and they fixed it for free. Since I couldn't be without a vacuum, we went to Target and bought $125 Hoover. The Hoover didn't last the week. Piece of garbage.

Planned obsolescence is a thing.

I mean, I can't eat bacon anymore so I guess that would be me. Lol!

Does that mean more bacon for me? Sorry.

I do.

Instead, I cut off the fatty ends of the bacon. The strips fit better in the pan, and the fatty ends go into the freezer. I use those when I’m going to sauté veg, or something I want bacon fat in. When I cook bacon, sometimes I save the fat if I know of a particular thing I’m planning to make.

I will eat your portion so it doesn't go to waste....

My youngest son doesn't like bacon, cheese, or steak. I call him the Changeling.

How is that even possible?! Lol! I wish I didn't like them! That would make it so much easier!

Back in the day, when I was a baconivore I actually liked cooking my bacon in the oven for evenly cooked perfectly crispy bacon strips. Plus, they didn't spit at me that way. Lol

We also bake them in the oven!

I got 4 tomato and 4 basil plants in the ground. All my potted plants need to get planted. The roots are circling the bottoms of the pots, looking for freedom.

I have lots of volunteer potatoes coming up where the sweet potatoes will be. Should they stay or should they go? We'll see how many come up where I planted them, ie, where they're supposed to. The sweet potato slips won't be here for another week or more.

I sat below the upper deck, drank pots of spiked tea with a sour face and waited for the rain to stop. The yard is now a semi-aquatic, tick breeding haven again
